Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

20 notecards = 5 pages (4 cards per page)

front 1

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding water intake and output by the body?

An increase in the amount of beverages taken by mouth would increase the urine output.

An increase in fluid taken by mouth would reduce the amount produced by metabolism.

An irritation to the colon that leads to diarrhea would increase the proportion of water lost through feces.

The proportion of fluid lost by the body as sweat would increase during exercise.

front 6

Which of the following would NOT be associated with a rise in K+ concentration in the extracellular fluid (ECF)?

a drop in Na+ reabsorption

a rise in K+ excretion

release of aldosterone

stimulation of the adrenal cortex

back 6

a drop in Na+ reabsorption

front 7

Of the three buffering mechanisms in the body, which is the strongest?

chemical buffer system

renal system

respiratory system

back 7

renal system

front 8

The bicarbonate buffer system is one of the chemical buffer systems of the body. How would the bicarbonate buffer system work if sodium hydroxide were added to a solution?

The hydrogen ion would attach to carbonic acid.

A hydrogen on carbonic acid would dissociate and join the hydroxyl group on the base to form water and sodium bicarbonate.

The hydrogen ion would attach to bicarbonate (HCO3) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3).

back 8

A hydrogen on carbonic acid would dissociate and join the hydroxyl group on the base to form water and sodium bicarbonate.

front 9

The respiratory system is one of the three systems that regulate acid-base balance in the body. How does it work to decrease an acidosis?

Carbonic acid is broken down into water and CO2; the CO2 is then exhaled.

Carbonic acid is converted to bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.

Carbonic acid is converted to bicarbonate, which then buffers the acid.

Carbonic acid converts a strong acid to a weak acid, thus decreasing acidity.

back 9

Carbonic acid is broken down into water and CO2; the CO2 is then exhaled.

front 10

In a respiratory acidosis the kidney would do which of the following?

The kidney would reabsorb bicarbonate and secrete hydrogen ions.

The kidney will reabsorb both bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.

When it reabsorbs the hydrogen ion, it also generates more bicarbonate ions.

The kidney would increase excretion of both bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.

back 10

The kidney would reabsorb bicarbonate and secrete hydrogen ions.

Hypersecretion of aldosterone results in hypokalemia, which causes hyperpolarization of neurons; this in turn results in ______.

increased speed of sodium-potassium pump activity in order to compensate for the reduced concentration of potassium ions

decreased plasma membrane permeability to potassium ions

the need for a stronger than normal stimulus in order to trigger an action potential

a craving for more salt in the diet

back 17

Which of the following is the only logical explanation for why hypocalcemia increases neuromuscular excitability and causes muscle tetany?

Low plasma calcium ion concentration decreases the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Low plasma calcium ion concentration decreases the rate of exocytosis of synaptic vesicles.
